That thing saved me hours with my raised beds

I have a small Southern California backyard and wanted to completely rototill and replant grass this year. After searching online for tillers both rental and for purchase, I settled on this Sun Joe. I wanted to work at my own pace so the rentals were out of the question. The gas powered tillers seemed like overkill for my size yard, and many of them were more than I wanted to spend. The price on the Sun Joe was perfect, but I was worried I would be getting something under powered. Boy was I wrong. This little beast chewed up the yard and asked for more. I purposely started a couple days after a rain storm and it went flawlessly. The only downside is avoiding the electrical cord, but I developed a technique and pattern that worked for me and seemed to lead to better results.

This little monster shocked me. The power it has is amazing.

Tiller was easy to assemble and works as described. I have tested it on bermuda grass. It is recommended to be used more on dirt projects. In my case I will have to stop more to check if grass gets rapped up in the tiller. In the test area it worked perfectly. If it hits a root it will jump so make sure you have a good grip and your footing is steady. Best to have damp, not soaked or dry dirt as well.
